Hi Pamdor,

Thanks for your post and apologies to hear you are receiving unwanted calls from us.

I've gone into your account and changed your marketing preferences to No Contact so this will stop any calls you are getting from us. It will also stop any emails, addressed marketing and texts from us too.

It can take up to 6 weeks for things to completely stop but you should see it reduce as time goes on.
